Talk to King Arthur in Camelot

Instructions:

Commence your journey by engaging in dialogue with King Arthur, who holds court in the illustrious realm of Camelot, situated to the east of Seers' Village. Express your aspiration to partake in the exalted Knights of the Round Table, prompting the King to propose a preliminary quest aimed at demonstrating your mettle. In a tone laden with concern, Arthur reveals the lamentable plight of his confidante and guide, Merlin. The sage wizard languishes trapped within the confines of a crystalline prison, his liberation an elusive enigma. In your pursuit of a solution, the counsel of fellow knights may unveil avenues to explore.

Proceed to engage in conversations with the other valiant knights dispersed throughout the Camelot environs. Your initial interaction shall be with Sir Gawain, who can be encountered either traversing the courtyard or ensconced within the castle's chambers. Engage Sir Gawain in a discourse concerning Merlin's predicament, ensuring thorough exploration of both available options. In his ponderings, he alludes to the possibility of seeking assistance from Morgan Le Faye, the very architect of the enchantment that holds Merlin captive. Yet, the key challenge remains: accessing her fortress, a conundrum to which Gawain possesses no solution.

Subsequently, ascend to the 1st floor of Camelot Castle to initiate a conversation with Sir Lancelot. Inquire about his insights regarding a feasible approach to infiltrating the Keep Le Faye. In response, Sir Lancelot imparts that the sole viable path to breach the Keep lies by way of the sea. This revelation propels your quest further into a maritime direction.

Infiltrating the keep

Items required:A bucket of wax or an empty bucket

With your newfound direction in mind, make your way southward along the road until you reach the coastal village of Catherby. Once within Catherby's confines, a short distance south of the bank, you'll encounter Arhein, a merchant overseeing the general store. Strike up a conversation with him, delving into the details of his boat's destinations. This interaction will yield valuable insights for your impending journey.

Swiftly traverse to the residence just north of the bank and secure a bottle of insect repellent from a table within. Equipped with this provision, don your armor and navigate to the vicinity just north of the dock, positioned between the bank and the Candle Shop. Here, a cluster of crates against the back wall offers an opportunity. Interact with these crates to ensconce yourself within their confines. The scenario will unfold as laborers assemble and pack the crates, inadvertently transporting you onto the boat.

As time elapses, you will find yourself transported to the Keep Le Faye, your destination realized. When prompted, elect to climb out of the crates, setting foot within the enigmatic Keep Le Faye

Exercise vigilance to evade the vigilante renegade knights who patrol the castle's corridors. Swiftly ascend the stairs, reaching the pinnacle of the castle's uppermost floor. At this elevated juncture, your encounter with Sir Mordred, a formidable adversary at level 39, shall unfold. Engage in a fierce battle, your combat prowess poised to overpower him. However, as the battle reaches its crescendo, a pivotal intervention transpires – Morgan Le Faye herself materializes, her plea resonating urgently: a desperate entreaty to spare her son's life. Complying with this plea becomes imperative to the unfolding events.

In exchange for your magnanimity, Morgan Le Faye will at last divulge the means by which Merlin's shackles may be broken. The forthcoming endeavor necessitates the acquisition of several crucial elements, as enumerated below.

Should you find yourself in need of a bucket of wax, proceed northward from the keep until a fenced enclosure replete with beehives comes into view, adjacent to the flax field. Acquire the bucket positioned nearby the gate, then leverage the insect repellent on a hive to temporarily disperse the bees. Once the area is suitably cleared, employ the bucket on the hive to procure a measure of wax. If the bucket of wax is already in your possession, the journey's return path involves secreting yourself within the crates positioned along the docks at Keep Le Faye, facilitating your reentry into Catherby.

Embark on a sojourn to the abode of the candle maker, conveniently nestled to the west of the Catherby bank. Engage him in conversation, and he will divulge his adeptness in crafting black candles, a feat attainable with a requisite bucket of wax. Subsequently, initiate a dialogue with him anew, this time presenting the bucket of wax. In recognition of your offering, he will entrust you with the coveted black candle.

Excalibur

Items required: Bread

The fabled sword, Excalibur, resides under the guardianship of The Lady of the Lake. To locate her ethereal presence, venture southeast from Taverley until the tranquil lake graces your sight. Positioned within the peninsula, the Lady of the Lake awaits your approach. Engage in conversation with her, unveiling her possession of the coveted sword. However, her willingness to relinquish Excalibur hinges on a prior task: a journey to the jewellery shop in Port Sarim.

En route, ensure you secure sustenance in the form of a loaf of bread. Proceed to Port Sarim, where the option to converse with Veos opens a pathway to Port Piscarilius. Upon arrival, a southward sprint to Hosidius grants access to bread through either purchase or a more clandestine acquisition. Alternatively, Wydin's Food Store in Port Sarim offers the option to procure a pot of flour, a key ingredient for baking your own bread.

Upon reaching the entrance of the jewel shop in Port Sarim, a beggar will approach, beseeching you for nourishment to alleviate his family's hunger. Offer him the loaf of bread in your possession. This seemingly mundane act unveils a mystical transformation – the beggar's guise dissolves, revealing the true identity of the Lady of the Lake. In recognition of your compassionate spirit, she deems you worthy and bequeaths Excalibur into your care.

Chaos Altar Inscription

Venture to Varrock and direct your steps toward the Zamorak chaos temple, nestled within the city's southeastern extremity. Engage with the altar by selecting the "Check" option, thereby uncovering the words essential to your endeavor: "Snarthon Candtrick Termanto". It is imperative to click "continue" within the ensuing dialogue to fully complete this interaction.

Important to note: Reading and absorbing the words inscribed upon the altar serves as a pivotal step, allowing you to advance through the quest. Disregarding this task will hinder your progress in the quest's unfolding narrative.

Breaking the Crystal

Items required: Excalibur, black candle, tinderbox, bat bones, food and a weapon (last 2 optional but recommended).

To initiate the liberation of the imprisoned wizard, you must return to the regal domain of Camelot. Traverse the castle's expanse until you locate the mystical symbol situated on its northeast perimeter, nestled just within the enclosure. With the black candle in your possession, kindle its flame. Carefully place the bat bones within the delineated circle, ensuring you refrain from burying them. This act beckons forth the emergence of a demonic entity named Thrantax the Mighty. When prompted, articulate the incantation: "Snarthon Candtrick Termanto". A correct recital shall bend the spirit's will to your command.

Caution is advised, as an errant phrase shall trigger a hostile response from the spirit, resulting in an attack. If such an event unfolds, securing a fresh black candle becomes necessary for a second attempt. The spirit, formidable at level 92 with a potentially impactful strike, poses a considerable challenge.

Note: You must equip your Excalibur sword

Once the spirit submits to your command, you shall articulate your plea for Merlin's liberation. The spirit, bound by your bidding, will adhere to your wish. Proceed indoors to the interior of Camelot Castle and ascend the ladder situated in the southeast corner, ascending to the zenith of the southeastern tower. Here, Merlin stands encased within a crystalline prison of azure hue. Employ the mighty Excalibur upon the crystal's surface, causing it to shatter and dispel the enchantment.
